Head
1. 6 sc in a MR
2. 6 inc
3. (1sc,inc)*6 (18)
4. (2sc,inc)*6 (24)
5. (3sc,inc)*6 (30)
6. (4sc,inc)*6 (36)
7-11. 36 sc (5 rounds)
At this stage, attach the safety eyes between rounds 7 and 8, leaving 6 stitches between the eye stems. Start stuffing the head with fiberfill.
12. In back loops only – (4sc,dec)*6 (30)
13. (3sc,dec)*6 (24)
14. (2sc,dec)*6 (18)
15. (1sc,dec)*6 (12)
16. 6 dec
Before closing the hole at the bottom of the head, make the eye indentation as shown in the next steps.
Using a long needle and white yarn, make the eye indentation – one eye at a time. Insert the needle through the hole left at the bottom of the head.
Embroider the whiters of the eyes with the same white yarn, and use black yarn to embroider the eyelids and mouth.
Weave in all yarn tails, add more fiberfill if needed, and close the hole by pulling the front loops together.
Embroider the spots on the head.
Skirt
1. Join the yarn to round 12, where you previously worked in back loops only.
Ch 3, then make 2 dc in the same stitch.
Continue working 3 dc into each stitch around.
At the end of the round, join with a slst into the first stitch of the round.
2. Ch 2, then starting in the same stitch, work 1 sc into each stitch around.
At the end of the round, join with a slst into the first stitch of the round, fasten off, and weave in the yarn tail.
Tentacles
I used alize velluto yarn and leftover plush yarns in various colors for the tentacles.
Velluto tentacles – make 4 pieces (with a 5 mm hook):
Ch 41, starting from the second chain from the hook, work 40 sc.
Tentacles with other plush yarn – make 10 pieces (with a 3.5 mm hook):
Ch 55, starting from the second chain from the hook, alternate 2 sc, inc (repeat to the end of the chain).
Sew the tentacles in any order you like. If there is too much empty space left, feel free to crochet and attach a few more tentacles.
If you want to make a flower on the head of the jellyfish, you can make a flower like this.
Here is a wonderful crochet jellyfish!
